Important Considerations

■Assign an easily recognizable and unique name for each system. For example, name the system according to its physical location, as in

PARIS-ENGLAB1.

■Use quotation marks (“) around any string that has embedded spaces.

■Use double quotation marks (““) to enter an empty string.

■The new system name appears the next time that you display the system configuration.
